EGAD
We here at Blue Crab Boulevard have been keeping a close eye on the condition of performance artist Mark McGowan ever since he chowed down on a corgi dog. Our informants told us that the corgi McGowan devoured actually died of a rare disease, Extremely Gullible Artist Disease, or EGAD. The disease, when contracted by humans, manifests itself as an insatiable appetite for dog meat. (This appears to be a chicken and egg type thing with Mr. McGowan.) Well the whole appetite for dog is in the initial stages of the disease. There is a tertiary phase, however, that is much worse. We're afraid that Mr. McGowan has reached that stage.
He's about to become the main course of a blue plate special.
McGowan said he ate the dog because he was angry that the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of which the royal family is a patron, had not prosecuted Prince Philip, the Queen's husband, for hunting and killing a fox. The RSPCA said the fox did not suffer.
Now McGowan is switching his attention from animals to vegetables. He told Sky News television that his next project would be an interpretation of the work of American illusionist David Blaine.
"I am being buried in a box — a David Blaine type thing — in Dublin underneath a metre of mashed potato," he said. He did not explain why.
Why? Because the disease has given him an incurable urge to become an entrée, that's why. Chef Gaius will NOT be making a new sauce for this, either. The Super Corgi Sauce is quite enough (besides, we're running low on snail darters and the baby seals aren't quite ripe yet). We do, however, want to point out the obvious: this perfectly validates the old expression, "There's a place for all of God's creatures".
Right next to the mashed potatoes and gravy. Or under, in this case.

I would suggest a trip to the everglades. There’s plenty of gators there willing to snack on him.

Gator? Tastes like corgi.
